With
their incredible catalog of past masters, Englands Beat Goes
On reigns among the best CD rock reissue labels on the planet.
One cool disc deserving attention is BGOs 2006 2 albums on 1
CD reissue of the Gary Wright classics Extraction paired
with Footprint. Of course, Wright was the key ingredient,
playing keyboards and composing in the classic U.K. rock group Spooky
Tooth. After the bands all time classic 1969s Spooky
Two, and their critically aclaimed yet commercially failing album
Ceremony, Wright ended up leaving the band. Wrights star-studded
solo career really took off in 1971 with his first solo album Extraction.
Catchy pop tracks, played with solid rock backing, Extraction
featured stellar contributions from none other than George Harrison,
Alan White, Hugh McCracken, King Curtis, Mick
Abrahams and many more. The follow up to Extraction, the
equally impressive Footprint continues in the super star mode
with George and White, King Curtis, McCracken and Klaus Voorman
too. Excellent liner notes retell the tale of these timeless album
classics. www.bgo-records.com
